Officers Search for Gunman Who Opened Fire on Detectives

Officers are searching a Mid-City neighborhood for a gunman who ambushed two detectives as they arrived Tuesday morning at a Los Angeles
Police Department station in what the police chief called an "attempt to assassinate" members of the department.

The search for the gunman forced closures along a half-mile stretch of La Brea Avenue and one mile of Venice Boulevard. Businesses in the 25-square
block around the Wilshire Community Police Station (map) remain closed and a shelter-in-place order was issued for residents.

said LAPD Commander Andy Smith. "These officers were ambushed as they were pulling into the station.
"We believe whoever did this knows this is a police station and that anybody entering that lot is a police employee."...

it was a hidden police station? ROFL

if you're not doing anything wrong... [insert trollface here]

Smith was asked whether he thought the gunman was a rogue officer with motives similar to those of ex-LAPD officer Christopher Dorner, who
targeted law enforcement agents as part of a revenge plot. Smith said that was an extremely unlikely possibility.

LMFAO! that reporter is looking to get shot; smith probably had to change his underwear after the interview

So when Hastings was killed in a car crash two miles a way on North Highland.Just another day in Cali. When two cops get shot at on South Highland the
whole town goes into lock down. And I don't think they will get much help after promising millions of dollars bounty for Dormer and then not paying it
out. They can't even be trusted to pay a bounty they offer.

There does seem to be some kind of problem. A known terrorist running the streets who did a bombing killing and injuring many people and the cops do
nothing. But those same guys kill one security guard and a whole city goes on lock down and thousand of officers were brought in to find them. The
people don't matter but kill a cop or security guard and the city will go into marshal law. What are they protecting there authority or the people?

No one was killed, One had a slight head wound the other a hand wound, there are worse injuries in a soccer game and yet they lock down a very
crowded, very busy area of people who are just trying to get to work.

If it were me I'm just cranky enough to get in my truck and go to work anyhow, If stopped I'd argue with them. What they call "Shelter in Place" is
just another term for "House Arrest"

We have to stop accepting being treated like doormats or it will just get worse.
